Thanks to its thirty-year experience, COMAU Robotics is in a position to implement and define first quality solutions and technologies, granting his customers very competitive advantage. The wide range of robotics systems is directed both to the biggest automotive industries worldwide as well as the small-medium size companies involved in the automation production process.
COMAU Robotics, to evolve the C4G Robot Control Unit, has chosen to develop together with B&R a new integrated automation solution.
The anthropomorphous COMAU robots will benefit from the innovative and modular servo drive system ACOPOSmulti, the class of products which has defined new standards in the power electronics field in terms of performance, compactness, cooling and user-friendly cabling and installation.
Last but not least, the integrated safety technology of these devices will represent for COMAU a real added value to simplify robotized lines and man-machine cooperation.
As far as the control field, COMAU Robotics will make use of the newest generation B&R industrial PCs, APC810 with Core 2 Duo processor technology, that guarantees high performances with the minimum energy consumption and the compact system of I/O X20, featured by first-rate quality, modularity, high density and granularity of the signals.
Moreover, the simple integration of the hardware components into the proven SW Logic of COMAU's system will be ensured by adopting the high performance Ethernet POWERLINK communication standard protocol.
“By implementing B&R's integrated automation solutions, we have started a technological partnership that will provide both short and long-term advantages”, stated Eng.Filoni, General Manager of COMAU Robotics.
One of the main factors that convinced made COMAU Robotics to sign this important agreement, in addition to the technological innovation of B&R products, is the several benefits brought by Ethernet POWERLINK, the very well-known standard and open protocol merely SW, fitted to grant the communication of standard control information and integrated safety through a single real time deterministic network.
This positive result accomplished by B&R has been achieved only after a deep evaluation of solutions and products available on the market by COMAU Robotics expertises.
